Thanks Alan for this link. Second to last time I was in Fla. I rescued a gopher tortoise from the road. Last time I was there by friend Dave Godfrey rescued one. Great animals closely allied to the desert tortoise. Both species are being hurt by releases of exotic tortoise that spread alien respiratory diseases. www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/columnists/carl_hiaasen/14511394.htm
